Delhi Travel tips
India is such a diverse country that it is impossible to find all the beauty in just one place. But when you are in Delhi, you would manage to take a peek into the spirit of the country.
However, if you are a first-time traveller in Delhi, you would surely want some Delhi travel tips that will see you through your trip and make it a memorable one.
Here are a few tips to jot down in your notebook before you visit Delhi:
Get used to the crowd as soon as possible
One of the most populated cities of India as well as the tourist hub of the country, Delhi is always crowded; but that is just one of its many charms.
You can soak in the culture of people coming from different parts of the country and the world and if you ever feel claustrophobic, try to avoid the heavily crowded areas like Sarojini Nagar at peak hours.
Learn how to bargain
Being ignorant of how the economy works in Delhi can be one of the major downfalls of any tourist.
The shopkeeper at almost all the shops in Delhi has mastered the art of knowing if you have cash with you or not, and they would not hesitate to exploit you for substandard products.
A good bargaining tip would be to ask them to take the half of the starting price they had previously cited and try to come to a middle ground.
Try to live in one of the hotels in central Delhi
For anyone looking to travel in Delhi, it is advisable to stay in the central part of the city for easy access no matter where you go.
Don’t be shocked by the rickshaw rides
Auto rickshaws might not look like much, but they can be one of the most efficient modes of transportation in the city.
You might feel like the rickshaw parts will come off at any moment, given the speed with which the rickshaw drivers manoeuvre their vehicle.
However, you can be assured since they are experienced and would make sure you reach your destination safely.
Indulge in your Gastronomic fantasies
No matter whether you are a vegetarian or a non-vegetarian, Delhi would fill your heart and your stomach like no other place in the world.
Even though you might initially want to eat at the high-end ‘hygienic’ restaurants, the smell of the juicy jalebis, delicious Kathi rolls, and fried pakoras would entice you eventually.
Don’t feel shy to experiment with your flavour palate.
Always stay hydrated
Characteristic of most Indian cities, Delhi can get quite hot during the summer season, with temperatures soaring up to 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
The humidity along with the glaring rays of the sun can make you feel dizzy, but we are here to offer some tips to find respite from the weather.
Always carry a bottle of water with you when you step outside and wear cotton clothes that allow your skin to breathe.
Think twice before trusting someone
As hard as it is to accept and state, Delhi is not always the safest place for women. If your driver starts recommending a place, it’s probably because they have been commissioned by that place.
Moreover, it would be preferable not to get out at night and even if you do, make sure you have several friends accompanying you. Always hiring a trusted and highly recommended cab service is advised.
Abide by our tips and we promise that you will have a safe and fun-filled trip in Delhi!
